Email to local rep- what would you do?

[Anonymous]

PP who thinks the message was great. Have 3 kids that are out or currently in college. I never saw any correspondence they sent. I would recommend you stop having your kid CC you.

I get the cringe, but leave it be. Even worst case scenario they momentarily judged kid, it won’t be a dealbreaker based on formatting and is really insignificant in the scheme of things. They wouldn’t note file, can’t send an email, it’ll be quickly forgotten.

Not only do you need to let this go, but you owe your daughter an apology for overreacting. A year from now she'll be in college and before she shares the details of her life with you, she'll remember that time you went crazy about email formatting.

Ok I did that and added a read receipt 🙄

Thus suggestion was satire, op.

Well you got one out of two, not bad.

It’s fine. It’s absolutely the kind of thing I would wake up kicking myself for 5 years later, but it’s still fine. Formatting isn’t that big a deal and drawing attention to it will make it worse and more awkward. Just let it go.

However she didn't format it properly and it has no space between him name, the body and her name. I'm so mad and wanted have her send a follow up saying something about so sorry the formatting got messed up after sending, but the message remains the same. Like acknowledging she knows it looks bad. She think it's overkill and barely cares. DH thinks leave it and why draw attention to it. But it looks sloppy and I think it would show she cares if she acknowledges it?

NO. Leave it. Your DH is correct.

These types of brief emails are encouraged by our top private hs. The college counselors there were former AOs at T25s.

A thank you note is never inappropriate.

The rep, if they even read the email, will probably realize it was composed on a phone and not think anything of it.

Yes she is required to CC me on all correspondence. Duh

I hope this is a troll response. Otherwise, time to land the helicopter. As AO, I’d be more concerned about this than the email formatting issues.

of course it's sarcasm.

I was being sarcastic. I would never have her do that!

it is more that she rushes and doesn't pause to edit, thank or double check anything. it is the bigger picture

I understand you, it’s bigger picture life skill to slow down. I have one that makes careless mistakes in a rush to check off list and rash emotional decisions sometimes.
